I have always been curious to know why human behavior is so inconsistent. May I add that I am one of those humans? I think I will. It has been an ongoing fight to finish things that I have begun. Small, quite inadequate things for others, but as for me the small things is where it counts. I catch myself laughing at some of the things which this past year I have but yet accomplished like, all the C.S Lewis Novel s, songs that I have whole heartedly written but never finished, clean my entire room from top to bottom, and a strong effort to close the wounds of past relationships which I have been the murderer to its ends. I cannot say that I have laughed at all these “small “unaccomplished goals. It saddens me to see that a lot of us cannot finish the small things because we will never feel the joy of seeing the blessing in the big things. I have grown up hearing the renowned Bible verse, for many of us it has become a broken record, Colossians 3:3 “whether you eat or drink do all unto the glory of God.” It is well rehearsed and memorized for many but never entirely executed to its deepest significance. If we really look at it and ponder upon its inexhaustible depth, it would shred our lack of dedication to its simplicity. Sometimes goals are not accomplished because we have made a plan to how everything will go, but as many have heard and said “if you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans”. That is everyone’s life story, ha. Along the way of our supposed success comes discouragement disguised as THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA dead end. All we have to do is get over it, easier said than done right? Well I have come to find out that once we become real with our lack of inconsistency whether relationships, promises, cleaning your room, working out…ahem…guilty! Or finishing a kind song. We have the ability to fight the inconsistency or, for many college students, procrastination to the death. This is a true fight of everyday.
